Correct Answer
A. An apostille from the Department of State.
Detailed Explanation
This is the booklet's international-authentication term. In "Definitions and General Terms," an apostile or apostille is Department of State authentication attached to a notarized and county-certified document for possible international use. Not to be confused with county-clerk authentication under Executive Law §133, the apostille is the higher-level state authentication used after the local certificate step.
